Latest News

Artcurial Monaco invited Nice Premium to the launch of their new sale, Generation 21 by Artcurial, during which the gallery presented us with a selection of works as a sneak preview, before they go on sale in late October in Paris.

Ultra-Contemporary Art

This new sale, which will take place at the end of October in Paris, is named Generation 21 by Artcurial. It highlights ultra-contemporary artists of the 21st century. These artists represent a new international wave bringing a breath of fresh air.

About a hundred works will be on sale, featuring notable artists and others to discover, such as the artists Edgar Plans and Klaus.

Edgar Plans

Edgar Plans is a Spanish artist who has been passionate about the art world since childhood. He never wanted to draw what others suggested, which is why, after spending some time studying art history to acquire the basics, he preferred to stop and learn on his own. Indeed, according to him, if he learned more technique, it would stifle his inspiration.

His style is colorful, expressive, and lively. His major influences include graffiti, street art, comic strips, illustrations, and animated films.

Thus, we find an aesthetic inspired by cartoons while addressing serious subjects. For example, in his paintings, we find characters he calls “Hero Animals”. He believes we need a better world, and it is the role of these hero animals to critique gender violence, racism, and envy.

French Cuisine (2019)

Estimated value of the work: €200,000 – €300,000

Kaws

Kaws is a New York artist from the graffiti scene. He combines references to pop culture icons, the raw energy of urban painters, and large-scale production methods typical of pop art.

He has made a mark on the contemporary art scene with his characters that seem to come straight out of cartoons. Indeed, he was recruited by Disney after his studies, and this collaboration was not insignificant, as we find references to Mickey in his works.
